  1. E1000 (PCI-E) doesn't work on nforce430, MSI issue.

    Hi,

    Is it a known problem?
    Linux 2.6.24.2, ASUS M2NPV-MX mobo, nforce 430 based, two PCI-E x1
    E1000 cards, 32-bit kernel, default e1000 driver (PCI IDs disabled in
    e1000e).

    Don't work by default. "pci=nomsi" fixes the problem.

    Probably the patch to enable msi bit on the host bridge(?) is still missingin
    mainline. I needed that patch to make msi work on my MCP51 system.

    your card will work with e1000e from 2.6.25 onwards.

    actually does not fix anything - it just works around it by falling back to legacy
    interrupts.

    and there have been many more reports. unfortunately e1000 cards are one of the
    few things that actually uses MSI. It works great except for a few problematic
    motherboards, and the ones mentioned in this thread fall amongst them.

    Actually it does, fixes the problem by working around a bug :-)

    Thanks for info.
